After three and half months Kejriwal has come out and finally noticed the issue. It is good for me, and, I am grateful to the chief minister for that,said Lipika

"I am really surprised at the way Kejriwal has asked Bharti to come and face the law, as they were supporting Bharti earlier," she added.

Bharti is expected to move the Supreme Court. Until he does, the police are free to arrest the former law minister' who has been accused by his wife of domestic violence, torture and attempt to murder.
